About Me

A nomad by nature, curious and easygoing. I love to be a traveler, not a tourist.
I work in the film industry, I'm also a photographer, I love to read, write, listen to music and meet people.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I love to travel but I don't like being a tourist. I like to learn from different cultures, I love to witness different ways of living, of thinking, of conceiving the world; that's what I travel for, not to show off, not to carry souvenirs, but to understand.
I prefer to meet people in their real environment, in their everyday activities, I love to see what makes them laugh, what makes them cry, what's important for them and why. I love to share my experiences with them too. I love to tell stories from the places I've been in, of the things I do, of the way I see life.

Music, Movies, and Books

Music:
I love all kind of music, from Yann Tiersen and Philip Glass to Deftones and The Rolling Stones, with many, many artists in between.
Movies:
The Big Fish, Amelie, The Fight Club, Dead Poets Society. Almost anything that Alfonso Cuarón, Guy Ritchie and the Coen Brothers have ever done.
Books:
Farenheit 451, Blindness, The Name of the Rose, The Great Gatsby, The Kite Runner.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Quit the job I hated after doing the same thing for 6 years, start over from scratch doing what I love: movies.

Teach, Learn, Share

Learn to live lightly, like a feather, keep it simple and never stop asking questions.
I also can teach you photography, video editing and how a taco should be properly made.
I'd love to learn how to fish, how to sail, kayaking, languages and how to make craft beer.

What I Can Share with Hosts

My experiences, my native language (spanish), a gaze at Latin America and Mexico, our culture, our beliefs; a hug, a friendship and a good laugh.
